Children and families will enjoy 18th Century
music performed by Atwater-Donnelly, at
the Ridgefield Library, on Saturday, July 1st.
If you miss the first show at noon, don't worry,
the fun will be repeated at 2 p.m.
Atwater-Donnelly is a Rhode Island-based folk duo performing
traditional American and Celtic folk music and dance,
along with original music and poetry.
The much acclaimed husband-wife duo presents
an enthralling blend of traditional Appalachian, Celtic
and original folk music sung with gorgeous vocals and
an astonishing array of unusual instruments -- including
the mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, limberjacks,
mandolin, harmonica, feet and more.
From Rhode Island, Aubrey Atwater and Elwood Donnelly
have traveled extensively for seventeen years in the
United States, Ireland, England, and Canada to perform
their music and find their songs one by one. They have
four books and nine recordings which receive international
airplay.
